Chapter 453 Mysterious Award Ceremony of Distinguished Guests (Ch 453)

One hour and fifty-five minutes later,

When the title “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” appeared on the giant screen again, the lights in the venue gradually lit up.

The movie officially ends.

Although the story of Ling Ge and Qiu Qian has ended, an indescribable feeling of being touched and relieved still spreads in the huge venue.

The entanglement between love and time was clearly engraved in the hearts of everyone present like a brand.

As the last frame of the movie disappeared, the scene was first silent, and then thunderous applause broke out!

In the last row of the audience, crazy fans stood up, clapping their hands vigorously and shouting the names of Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan.

Waves of sound swept across the venue like a tsunami.

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan stood up, and their figures appeared on the big screen at the same time.

The two stood under the spotlight, like the brightest pair of stars in the galaxy, receiving attention from all around.

“Thank you, thank you everyone~”

Amid the applause, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan smiled, raised their hands and waved to the audience, then bowed to express their gratitude in a dignified manner.

Finally, he made a quiet gesture to the crazy fans in the audience.

The important guests sitting in the first row, who were originally moved by the plot, now showed a little more appreciation on their faces.

This film’s unique interpretation of the entanglement between love and time is both novel and profound, and will undoubtedly leave a mark in film history!

What is even more rare is the attitude of the two young leading actors. They are neither arrogant nor impatient, and they can remain sober while achieving huge success. It is truly rare.

In the star seats,

The celebrities who were sitting close to Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan no longer cared about the rules and order of the scene. They stood up and stretched out their hands to the two of them.

They kept saying congratulations, and some even squeezed in from the back, even while waiting in line, just to shake hands with the two.

Even the media reporters who have seen many big scenes were as excited as college students who stepped into a foot massage parlor for the first time or strayed into the “technical” path.

I kept running around carrying the equipment just to capture the most exciting scene.

On the other side,

Lee Byung-hun, the backdoor god of war, wiped the tears from his eyes. This actor, who is known as the master of explosions and who can never be killed, had slightly red eyes and a sad look on his face.

“Senior, what’s wrong with you?”

Lee Ji-eun beside him was holding back a smile and asked knowingly,

“Ah, it’s so touching. I would rather be beaten up by Ma Dong-seok than watch it again.”

Hearing what Lee Byung-hun said, Ma Dong-seok’s hard face suddenly showed a panic expression, and he waved his hand and said,

“Bingxian, don’t make fun of me. I wouldn’t dare to hit you even if I hit myself.”

After saying that, he looked at Han Xiaozhou beside him and asked,

“Hyoju, what do you think?”

Among the people present, Han Xiaozhu has shot the most youth love films.

The two movies she starred in, “Only You” and “Band Aid”, made the audience cry.

Hearing Ma Dongxi’s question, Han Hyoju shook his head and said nothing.

As if still immersed in the story of the movie, unable to extricate himself, he looked at Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan who were constantly shaking hands with others.

I recalled the scenes in the movie where Ringer turned back time again and again for love. Comparing it with my own life in the world of fame and fortune, deep in my heart, I felt a desire for love.

…

The thunderous applause lasted for more than three minutes before gradually dying down.

Jun Ji-hyun and Song Joong-ki, who hosted this year’s awards ceremony, came on stage. Jun Ji-hyun had an excited look on her face.

He looked at Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, smiled and said something in Chinese.

After she finished speaking, the Chinese and English translations were heard one after another.

“Ms. Jun Ji-hyun said that she is very grateful to Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan for bringing such a wonderful movie to everyone. She looks forward to seeing more of your works in the future. If possible, she hopes to have the opportunity to work with you…”

After listening carefully, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan smiled, put their hands together and made a gesture of thanks to each other.

There was applause again, and when the applause subsided, Song Zhongji took over the conversation.

“Next, let’s give a round of applause to director Bong Joon-ho to announce the winner of the 25th Busan Film Festival Asian Content Award…”

Applause and music sounded again. Although Qi Jia was not familiar with this director, he had seen many of his films.

For example, “The Host”, “Snowpiercer”, and “Parasite” which was released just last year.

It’s strange to say,

It was clearly a film festival, but the first awards to be presented were for TV dramas.

Moreover, although the Busan International Film Festival has individual achievement awards such as Best Actor/Actress and Best Newcomer,

But without exception, they are all awarded to TV dramas. In the film field, most of the awards are group awards. Even if there are individual awards, they are only awarded to directors and have nothing to do with actors.

…

“Why is this happening?” the assistant asked in confusion.

“There was one before,” Chen Yuwen said with excitement, “and then it was changed to be awarded to TV actors. Perhaps it was to attract more TV works and talents to participate, and to enhance the influence of the event in the field of TV dramas.”

As she spoke, her hands kept typing away on the keyboard, replying to emails. From the moment the assistant kicked the door,

She received more than 50 emails from theaters in various countries around the world expressing their intention to cooperate in introducing “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time”.

And, while she was replying, new emails kept coming in.

This time, the name of Qi Jia Studio may not be a household name around the world, but at least in the eyes of various investors in the entertainment industry, it will definitely become a focus of attention.

Pah~ Chen Yuwen casually slapped the assistant’s butt and said,

“Change your clothes and come out with me later.”

“Where are you going? I feel like I can’t leave the sofa without me.” The assistant lay still, speaking lazily.

“Eat a big meal, you don’t…”

“Walk!”

…

“Just look at it, can you please not put it in your pocket?”

Looking at Qi Jia who was about to put his trophy into his trouser pocket, Lei Jiayin was speechless.

He just won the Best Actor Award for “The Longest Day in Chang’an”.

As a result, the trophy was snatched away by Qi Jia just after he got it and hadn’t even warmed up to it.

“Look, look, you’re anxious again.”

“I was just worried that you might lose it, so I kept it for you. You said that as if I was trying to steal your trophy.”

Qi Jia curled his lips and returned the trophy to Lei Jiayin.

The award ceremony continued, and after presenting the Best Actress and Best New Director awards, it was soon time for the last TV drama award.

On the stage, the award presenter glanced at the list of winners in his hand, leaned closer to the microphone, and said in a deliberately drawn-out tone,

“The winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the 25th Busan International Film Festival is…”

Boom, boom, boom~ A burst of exciting and suspenseful music sounded at the scene, and at the same time, the spotlights above everyone’s heads began to flash.

Four or five seconds later~

“TV series “You Are the Mountains and Oceans in My Eyes”, Zhuang Dafei!”

As the presenter finished speaking, the music suddenly became louder and fireworks suddenly ignited in front of the stage.

Under the spotlight, Zhuang Dafei stood up excitedly, clasped his hands together and covered his mouth with a look of disbelief.

Lei Jiayin looked at Zhuang Dafei’s photo on the big screen and asked curiously,

“Isn’t this the girl who walked the catwalk with you? From your studio?”

“From Sister Mi’s company.” Qi Jia said casually.

On the stage, Zhuang Dafei received the award and gave a five-minute speech before leaving the stage. When he passed by Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, he happily raised the trophy and waved to them.

Jun Ji-hyun appeared again, and after looking at the list in her hand, she said,

“The first film award to be presented is the Audience Favorite Award.”

Hearing this, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan couldn’t help but look forward to it, because this was the only award related to “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time”.

Moreover, based on the performance during the screening, the probability of winning is not 100%, but at least 50%. The remaining 50% depends on the attitude of the expert jury.

Just when everyone’s eyes were on Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, Jun Ji-hyun changed the subject.

“However, since the award presenter was unable to attend due to some matters, the award could only be announced to us via video.”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene. You know, this set a precedent.

In the past, the worst that could happen was to replace one person, but this time they actually asked the other party to record a video to present the award to the winner. It seems a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

“Who do you think it could be?” Zhang Ruonan asked, holding her chin up and looking at Qi Jia curiously.

Qi Jia shrugged and spread his hands.

“I don’t know. It can’t be General MacArthur, can it?”
